Lessons in the Science student's book are organized in four units: Life Science, Earth Science, Physical Science, and Space and Technology. Each unit contains a balance between important science content and hands-on activities (through scaffolded inquiry) that support every lesson. You'll also find biographies, careers, and a NASA Connection in all units.
"California Earth Science" develops science concepts through purposeful, hands-on activities, compelling reading content, and dynamic visuals and graphics. It provides students with accurate, standards-based content designed to create scientifically-literate citizens. Students learn through rich, readable content, strong visual connections, and hands-on activities.Reading age for native speakers: Middle School students (6th grade)
Positive creative and artistic experiences provide for a child’s learning and development, and the most effective engagement goes well beyond learning the names of colors or how to hold a pencil to draw. Time to Create offers easy, accessible art activity ideas for families and educators to explore with their young children. Each activity encourages discovery through a variety of art media, including drawing, painting, printmaking, and textiles, and places an emphasis on process over product. With ideas for fostering creativity, advice for choosing the right art project, and suggestions for minimizing the mess, this handbook is helpful for teachers as well as parents.
